Finally a good digital camera can satisfy both beginners and professionals. Using the display and the flash, at the highest resolution (3.1 megapixel) I can make about 200 shots before the camera's battery was empty. The only downside is the night scenes or indoor shots with little light at best succeed with the manual settings. This requires at the beginning some time has to be incorporated to. Here the professional aspect of the camera comes into play. After good photos is no more obstacles.
